English: The ancient archaeological sites of the Vesuvian area were administered by the Archaeological Superintendence of Naples and Caserta (SANC). Following the earthquake of 23 November 1980 the Ministry for Heritage and Culture (MBCA) decided - due to the density and abundance of ancient remains found in the Vesuvian area - to establish the new Archaeological Superintendence of Pompeii (SAP) which became responsible for those areas of the province of Naples that included the ancient city of Pompeii, Herculaneum, and the Roman villas of Stabiae, Oplontis, and Boscoreale. These sites attributed to the SAP, by the administrative point of view were separated from the National Archaeological Museum of Naples (MANN) - institute that collects most of the artefacts found in them - who instead of being part of SANCs. Therefore all the archaeological remains found recently in the ancient Vesuvian cities and cataloged after 1980 have obtained an inventory number of the SAP and not that of MANN. From April 2008 the renovated Ministry of Heritage and Culture (MiBAC), following a more organic division of the territories assigned to the various superintendences, has again joined the Vesuvian archaeological sites to the Archaeological Museum of Naples, with the creation of the new Special Superintendence to the Archaeological Heritage of Naples and Pompeii (SANP).
